Weidmüller 1662460000 Heavy Duty Connector Hood - Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The Weidmüller 1662460000 is a heavy duty connector hood for side entry applications with PG21 thread size and Size 8 configuration. This connector delivers IP65 ingress protection (dust tight, water resistant) and is constructed from die-cast aluminum alloy with powder coating. The part is classified as obsolete, making identification of functionally equivalent alternatives necessary for ongoing system maintenance and new design implementations.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the 1662460000 is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Style: Hood, Side Entry configuration
• Size Designation: Size 8
• Thread Interface: PG21
• Ingress Protection: IP65 minimum
• Housing Material & Construction: Aluminum alloy, die cast with powder coating
• Mechanical Interface: Locking Clip (1) on Base Bottom

The substitute part 1662470000 meets all these criteria. Both parts share identical connector type, style, size, thread size, ingress protection rating, housing material, and locking mechanism. Dimensional variations (width: 43.00mm vs. 45.50mm) remain within acceptable mechanical tolerance for side entry hood applications and do not affect functional compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The 1662470000 is the direct functional equivalent for the obsolete 1662460000. Both parts are manufactured by Weidmüller and share identical electrical and mechanical specifications for heavy duty connector hood applications.

Status Advantage: The 1662470000 carries Active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain reliability. The 1662460000 is classified as Obsolete.

Compliance: The 1662470000 is RoHS Compliant, whereas RoHS status is not specified for the 1662460000. Both parts maintain REACH Unaffected status and EAR99 export classification.

Packaging: The 1662470000 is supplied in Bulk packaging, compared to the main part's unspecified packaging configuration.

For new designs or system replacements, the 1662470000 is the appropriate selection. For legacy system maintenance requiring exact dimensional matching, the 4.60mm width differential (45.50mm vs. 43.00mm) must be evaluated against available mounting space.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the 1662470000 directly replace the 1662460000 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both parts are identical in connector type (Hood), style (Side Entry), size (8), thread size (PG21), ingress protection (IP65), housing material (aluminum die cast), and locking mechanism. The width dimension differs by 4.60mm (45.50mm vs. 43.00mm), which must be verified against available mounting clearance in the specific application.

Q: Why is the 1662460000 listed as Obsolete?

A: The 1662460000 has been discontinued by Weidmüller. The 1662470000 represents the current production equivalent within the RockStar® series.

Q: What is the difference between the RockClassic™ and RockStar® series designations?

A: Both are Weidmüller heavy duty connector series. The 1662460000 belongs to RockClassic™ (Obsolete), while the 1662470000 belongs to RockStar® (Active). Functionally, they meet identical specifications for this hood connector application.

Q: Does the RoHS Compliance status of the 1662470000 affect compatibility?

A: No. RoHS Compliance is an environmental and regulatory attribute that does not alter the electrical or mechanical function of the connector. The 1662470000's RoHS Compliant status makes it suitable for applications with RoHS requirements.

Q: Are there inventory considerations when selecting between these parts?

A: The 1662460000 has 1067 Pcs in stock (Obsolete status), while the 1662470000 has 916 Pcs in stock (Active status). For long-term supply assurance, the Active status 1662470000 is recommended.

Q: What packaging format is the 1662470000 supplied in?

A: The 1662470000 is supplied in Bulk packaging, suitable for production assembly and integration workflows.
